The FDA has finalized guidance on the maximum amount of inorganic arsenic that can be in apple juice
The US Food and Drug Administration has finalized guidance on the maximum amount of inorganic arsenic that can be in apple juice. The announcement that came Thursday reconfirmed the level at 10 parts per billion that the agency first proposed in 2013. The goal of the guidance is to reduce the exposure of babies and young children to environmental contaminants through food, the FDA said. Arsenic naturally occurs in the environment.
“As lower arsenic levels are more protective of public health, we expect to revisit this action level as part of the FDA’s Closer to Zero action plan,” the FDA said. Is it low enough? Consumer Reports contends that the announcement will have little actual impact on public health — especially as many manufacturers already meet the level of 10 ppb or less.
